Problems connecting two embedded boards running RTEMS

[A.Jallad at surrey.ac.uk]

You were right. I tried what Angelo suggested - using arp -a. The two boards did have the same ethernet address and after changing the ethernet address of one of the boards, I got a successful connection. Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions.

Congratulations Angelo for your successful defending your Phd.

Regards,
Abdul.

The command arp -a will tell us all about the device. I had a similar 
problem and it was with the Mac address on the card. arp -a will tell us all
